From the Right and the Left Perspectives:

Review Essay by Jeanne Curran and Susan R. Takata
Copyright: Jeanne Curran and Susan R. Takata, and Individual Contributors, April 2001.
"Fair Use" encouraged.
This file will serve to gather all the site material on recent school shootings. No time tonight to put up the essay, but my focus will be on left and right perspectives of the shootings, bearing in mind, please, that those are not dualities, but points along a continuum over which we will move, depending on our relationship to school violence.
